The UN Global Compact’s Africa Strategy (2021-2023) is a proposed roadmap to accelerate corporate sustainability and champion the business sector’s contributions to sustainable development across the continent. It aims to galvanize large and small businesses across Africa to uphold the Global Compact’s Ten Principles for responsible business practices while emphasizing the need for urgent action to drive inclusive, sustainable, and resilient growth in Africa.
The United Nations Global Compact is working to secure the commitment of Nigeria’s private sector leaders to the implementation of the Africa Strategy. It will also provide a platform for participants to strengthen partnerships, develop opportunities for collaboration and advance their commitments to the Ten Principles.
The breakfast roundtable will also serve as a precursor to the launch of the UN Global Compact’s Africa Regional Hub in Abuja on May the 19th 2022, which will be the regional backbone for implementing the ambitions of the Africa Strategy and increasing the Global Compact’s footprint and impact across the continent.
